Not Me Monday - 2nd edition

Hmmm....Where do I start?
With a week like this, I was sure to have many "not me" moments.
Here are the ones I can remember through the haze of exhaustion:

I did not make my kids watch the first half of the same movie three times because I was too lazy to chapter select every time we got back in the car from Friday's Crazy Errand Day.

I did not glare at a very pregnant woman who was smoking outside McDonald's.

I did not proceed down a closed street despite the fact that I had no idea if it was a one way or not when I got lost in downtown Minneapolis on Friday.

I did not spell H.A.M.M.O.C.K for the salesman at the store so Sam wouldn't know what he's getting for his birthday only to have the salesman pause, then say the word out loud.

I do not have 10,063 emails in my inbox because I'm too lazy to unsubscribe from Freecycle or delete the tons of listings I get every day.

I do not feel like I've been run over by a truck just because I had a wedding and a senior portrait session in one day. Nope. That would only remind me that I'm completely out of shape and haven't exercised regularly in over a year.

I did not have to pick up a used maxi pad off the floor in the woman's bathroom when I locked up the park Saturday night.

My grandma did not use a paper bag to store my wedding dress for a month before giving it to me the other day.

I did not consider scrapping my Boundary Waters trip because I'm petrified of not being reachable in case of an emergency with the kids.

I did not cry when the dog ate all but 5 slices of a brand new package of cheese on Wednesday.

    I love your blog... I totally love the Not Me! Monday response about spelling Hammock for the salesperson. We have to spell all kinds of words around here such as "bath" "outside" "snack"....you know, things you don't want them to understand until it is really ready time to go outside or have a snack or that bath time is next. You hate to get them too excited until it is actually that time.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean...

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...
